João Domingos Bomtempo

João Domingos Bomtempo

João Domingos Bomtempo (Lisbon, December 28, 1775 — Lisbon, August 18, 1842) was a Portuguese classical pianist, composer and pedagogue.

Biography

Bomtempo was son of an Italian musician of the Portuguese court orchestra, and studied at the Music Seminary of the Patriarchal See in Lisbon. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he was not interested in opera and, in 1801, instead of going to Italy, he traveled to Paris, starting a virtuoso pianist career. He moved to London in 1810 and got acquainted with the liberal circles. In 1822 he returned to Lisbon, founding a Philharmonic Society to promote public concerts of the contemporary music. After the Portuguese civil war between liberals and absolutists, Bomtempo became a music teacher of Queen Maria II of Portugal and first Director of the National Conservatory, created in 1835 and which replaced the old Patriarchal Seminary, extinct by the liberal "régime". As a composer, Bomtempo produced a vast amount of concerts, "sonatas", variations and "fantasias" for the piano. His two known symphonies are the first to be produced by a Portuguese composer. The master piece of Bomtempo is his Requiem to the memory of Luís de Camões.
